理查德·瓦格纳因其歌剧而世界著名。其作曲家身份得到广泛认同,而其剧作家身份并未得到学界应有的重视。文学研究新视野的引入有助于更全面、更深入地理解瓦格纳。首先以作为戏剧诗人的瓦格纳为视角论证对其歌剧进行文学研究的合理性,其后试从文学研究的角度对国外、国内的瓦格纳戏剧研究概况做出梳理,以期引起国内学界对瓦格纳文学研究的关注。 Richard Wagner is famous worldwide for his opera. The identity of the composer is widely recognized, and his playwright identity has not received due attention of academia. The introduction of a new horizon of literary studies helps to understand Wagner more fully and in depth. First of all, from the visual angle of Wagner as the poet of drama, he justifies the literary studies of his operas. Later on, he tries to sort out the general research of Wagner drama from the perspective of literary studies in order to arouse the domestic scholars’ study of Wagner literature attention.
